Cat. No. 140 105 |
50 µg specific antibody, lyophilized. Affinity purified with the immunogen. Albumin was added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 50 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use. Antibodies should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze! |

Data sheet | 140_105.pdf |
RIMs are presynaptic active zone proteins that regulate Ca2+ triggered release of neurotransmitters. RIM 1α and RIM 2α are composed of an N-terminal zinc-finger domain, a central PDZ domain and two C-terminal C2 domains that are seperated by long alternatively spliced sequences.
RIM 2β consists of a specific N-terminus, the central PDZ domain and the C-terminal C2 domains. The mRNA for RIM 2β is transcribed from an internal promoter of the RIM 2α gene.
Shorter variants of RIM 2 which comprise only the C-terminal C2B domain and some flanking regions are referred to as NIM 2 / RIM 2γ and NIM 3 / RIM 3γ.
